I think it's worthwhile to expand your comfort level and just do something awful. I wasn't trying to make music for money.

I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

As it turns out, it's really expensive to make movies, much more than records.

I grew up in the suburbs and was raised on rap radio, so it took me a long time to stumble upon the acoustic guitar as a resource for anything.

If you've ever sang in falsetto, you know that your throat is between your voice and your mouth. In a standard voice, you sing from your belly. And when you sing in a falsetto, you're blocking that. It gives it a filter. It gives it a character. It's less revealing.

Dead men always have the last laugh. They win. They're dead. You can't hurt their feelings anymore.
